As part of the C2 Family, C2 HR shares the values of C2 Safety in that the health and safety of our customers has always been at the heart of what drives us. Health and Safety (H&S) is an important part of everyday life. Not only is it a vital aspect of the daily operations of any business, but it is essential in promoting a workplace culture that prioritises the safety of others.
While we understand that H&S might not be a subject that is at the forefront of everyone’s daily conversations, but it’s important to recognise the consequences of not taking it seriously. According to the Health and Safety Executive (2020), even with the knock-on effects of the pandemic, 38.8 million working days were lost due to work-related illness and workplace injury and 1.6 million working people suffered from a work-related illness.
Many of these instances could have possibly been avoided if the proper H&S measures were in place to protect those individuals. It’s no secret that good H&S measures mean that your staff can do their work more easily and safely. This, in turn, will boost morale, increase productivity and reduce costs. This is what we aim to help you achieve at C2 Safety.
There are many ways for your business to incorporate H&S measures that not only protect you and your employees but won’t break your bank. We offer a variety of bespoke consultancy services that can help you work towards acquiring proper guidance, procedures, certifications and documentation. A great example of working with one of our retained and valued customers, David Salisbury.
As a leader in the joinery manufacturing and installation sector, they require important health and safety practices on a variety of levels. From their highly advanced factory and additional involvement in a multitude of residential and commercial sites, it is imperative that they maintain and follow their health and safety plans and strategies.
David Salisbury has always been about improving and implementing effective H&S management practices in order to look after and maintain the well-being of their workforce. A case in point – with the ongoing support of our Safety Advisor, Pete Keane working alongside David Salisbury’s Head of Installations and Health and Safety Manager, Stephen Carpenter and HR Manager, Claire Byrne has resulted in their ability to continuously renew their Safety Management Advisory Service (SMAS) Worksafe accreditation every year. Under this H&S management system that meets the Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) Core Criteria, David Salisbury can remain in line with complying with current H&S legislation and demonstrates their high H&S standards.
Having this accreditation greatly supports the commercial side of their business as it has allowed them to take on larger-scale projects, such as a National Trust Property in Devon and the historic Cliveden Spa.
Being the ‘Helpful Safety Company’, it always makes us proud to see our customers and their business excel. Our core values are fundamental to our guiding principles and it is through our dedication that we genuinely enjoy working with our customers to keep their business’s legal and their employees safe. Our customers value the high level of service they receive and the increased level of reassurance they feel allows them to concentrate on running their business. No matter the size our your business, we can help.
If you have ever thought about taking the H&S management of your company more seriously, this is your sign.
